Overview

Healthchecks is an open source monitoring service for cron jobs and scheduled tasks. Each job pings its own URL on success and you are alerted the moment an expected ping goes missing.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg preinstalls Healthchecks with gunicorn, nginx and the alert delivery daemon. A fresh administrator password and Django secret key are generated on first boot with no default login, open registration is disabled, and 24/7 support is included.
